I got both specs, and found no difference at first read. Even in the FreeBSD driver, the only difference is in I2C adresses, and I did not find anything related to these in the tuner specs. Not even a signature. Does Haupuage cards use Temic PAL tuners ? If they use only Philips, maybe that can be the difference we are seeking to make the auto detection. // I will have to try the FM radio support next... Yeah !
